Description
More appendages would help keep you gliding up this excellent Reef stone. Starts on a slightly off vertical face for the first half with more sidepulls, gastons, laybacks, stemming and fingerlocks than crimps. The loss of pressure in your foot or hand hold can lead to a little whipper. The crux is getting through the slight bulge that protects easy ground to the overhanging and right leaning upper dihedral. Good hand holds with a few small ones and tiny feet make the correct technique imperative to reach then exit the top of the dihedral. The rock looks a little dubious but is really solid. A small fridge sized boulder that guarded the upper dihedral was trundled last year making this long viewed line a possibility.
